Got the fogs one's

I like them and I'd buy them, only trouble is they are £260 and they only sell as a pair. If one smashes then your screwed!
I think I'm gonna stick with retrofitting HIDs to mine. Nice thou mate!

Well today I got round to fitting the n/s front led fog lamp only as that is easy one ( no washer bottle that side ).

The stock o/s fog lamp (sidelights only)

Led n/s fog lamp (sidelights only) very nice sharp beam.

Led n/s fog lamp & low beam on.

The Nolden fog lights fill in the dark spot under the headlights very well.

Nice work, be interesting to see how they perform in fog

**LeeT5** · Saturday 27th December 2014, 23:46

How do they clamp to the car? Do they mount on the existing fog light brackets?

Cheers ,I did look at the Osram range but there's are 90 mm diameter units , the R's need to be 70 mm to keep the stock look.
I still have a fair bit of work to do ,To get them looking the way I want them.
Just don't have the time to get on with them (also to cold this time of year).

A couple of bits to fit.

This is a noise filter for the sat nav screen,when the cars engine is running there is a bit of interference in screen,it's a shame the unit is not wrapped in foam to stop any rattles under the dash, have got some foam tape on the way.

A bluetooth adapter for the iMIV lead as it's a 30 pin plug (4s iphone) but now have a S5 Samsung phone will see how well it work's? .

It looks like the firmware has been changed over the stock unit ?.

I've bought the same adaptor Harvey! How did you have your iMIV connected to play music, before you bought the BT adaptor?

I currently have the 30pin apple 5m from the iMIV to the front n/s dash. It then connects to a Brodit 'pass thru' iPhone cradle. I'm guessing, with the BT adaptor I can unplug the 30pin cable and hide it in the center console with the BT adaptor plugged in.
I'm going to try it today and test the functionality over my current hard wire setup.

my 'volvo drl' was switched off. so there was no beam or side on start.

So to confirm:

pos.0 = DRL's
pos.side = side (no DRL's)
pos.head = Headlights.

correct

Without this mod, is no other adjuster on the handbrake?

No mate there's a adjuster under the leather cover on the handbrake lever,this mod will does stop the car rolling back when the brake is pulled on.

I just changed the power steering fluid, seeing what came out of Lee car I thought it would be a good time to do it.

Looking in the hand book it says you need this fluid wss-m2c204-a2 which seems to be a Ford / Volvo only fluid ,did Google it but it didn't cross to anything that I could find.
Looks like 2006 year cars changed fluid type ?.

So changed the first 1L bottle this is what came out.

It looks like it needed it will flush again in a couple of weeks.
